You have been warned!In the wake of a major challenge for Jey Uso on last week’s WWE Monday Night Raw,CM Punk has returned to the red brandand speaks for the first time sinceWrestleMania 41to address the WWE Universe, Seth Rollins, and most importantly, Paul Heyman.

CM Punk Is Back With A Vengeance
Ready To Keep Seth Rollins Out Of The Title Picture
With a return last week toMonday Night Raw,CM Punk gave another stellar promo, one that was reminiscent of what made Punk the greatest on the mic. As announced during tonight’s broadcast, his next match will be tagging with Sami Zayn against Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker at the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Punk, when let off the chain,is one of the absolute best to ever do it on the microphone, and tonight was another prime example of why he’s at his best, restriction-free and on Netflix. If the next build is to John Cena and the WWE Championship, here’s hoping we get those promo battles on Netflix and away from the USA Network censors.
Penta Continues To Impress In WWE
Consistently,Penta proves to be one of the best in-ring workers on the entire WWE roster, and showed again tonight why he factors into the long-term creative plans for WWE. With continuous impressive showings, it’s impossible not to see him taking the Intercontinental Championship off of Dominik Mysterio at some point soon.
The acquisition of AAA is a big deal for both companies, with multiple opportunities for some amazing crossover matches, especially with Penta as the IC Champion.It wasn’t on our bingo card to see El Hijo del Vikingo and Rey Fenix in a WWE ring thuis year, and at WrestleMania nonetheless, but it would be a spectacle and a half to see Penta and Vikingo battle for the worker’s title as soon as humanly possible.
Giulia’s Main Roster Debut Match Was As Impressive As Expected
The Unquestionable Future Of The WWE Women’s Division
Considered one of the best women’s wrestlers in the world, Giulia made her main roster debut in tonight’s main event, tagging with Roxanne Perez against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY. Technically sound and standing tough against both Ripley and SKY,Giulia put on an impressive debut,even with taking the pin at the end of the match.
A decorated champion from her time in Japan, including holding the World of Stardom and the Strong Women’s Championships, as well as being fresh off her NXT Women’s Championship reign, Giulia will be an easy fit into the women’s division. However,the dynamic and idea of her feuding with Ripley is also an exciting prospect, as she proved she could hold her own against The Eradicator, especially if she were to defeat SKY for the Women’s World Championship.
